Race in America is a topic that everyone seems to be afraid to talk about, "White people" are afraid of saying the wrong thing and looking racist to other people, which I often see a lot. This group of people speak about living in a world of racism. White males in America seem to have it the best seeing how we have all of our rights and are the "top race", though it has been shown that not a lot of white Americans stop to think about their own race or some don't even think of race period. Watching this video and reading TEWWG I have definitely noticed that we have move forward in society since those days just on the simplicity that people have bigger worries these day with themselves being more than the color of their skin, involving their sexuality, gender ect. ]]> 2019-01-16 18:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ashley1/m67045gap1pe/wish/321393401 daniel_ashley1 https://padlet.com/daniel_ashley1/m67045gap1pe/wish/322260878 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqlD-eZm1ck
The video I watched talked about a sort of entertainment that they thought was long gone. However it’s not. Black face is something actors use to do in the 1920s and 1930s where they applied black face paint over a white persona and they act on stage as if they were African Americans. They mentioned that eventually African Americans started doing it and people never understood why, till they realized it made people feel comfortable as well as give African Americans a chance to be on stage. 
In their eyes were watching god Janie isn’t herself, she tends to hide what she is and people like her, sort of the same concept with black face and African Americans, they hid themselves to make others like them and feel comfortable, but Janie is almost always honest and won’t hold her opinion back if asked.

The woman talks about how not only were African Americans given less rights but also all women were looked at the same way. Being an African American woman was worse than being a white woman, simply because of the skin color.
However when it came down to it white women and African American women were not allowed to vote. She also talks about how she is not looked at as a woman sometimes, she was looked at as an object, or more of a man just because she worked in a barn or worked in a garden or with cattle. She wasn’t even looked at as an African American woman. This relates to Janie during the part of the book when she runs off and Marty’s Joe, they are in the town store and everyone wants Janie to talk, but Joe tells them it isn’t her place to talk, she shouldn’t talk. So like the Woman from “Ain’t I A Woman?” Janie is placed in a category that she doesn’t Believe she should be in just because she was a woman.  The woman who who wrote it was categorized as a man just because of the work she did. It’s all about what you are or what you do, not who you are.]]> 2019-01-18 18:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ashley1/m67045gap1pe/wish/322261803 daniel_ashley1 https://padlet.com/daniel_ashley1/m67045gap1pe/wish/322272301 What I have gathered is that since the time of TEWWG to today we've kind of been all over the place. Like in the book where Mrs. Tuner thinking as though she was a white woman, when she was obviously an African American, to today there are people socially identifying as black who are clearly white beacuse they believe that race is "cooler". Although we have moved ahead in those times of everyone so worried about there race to today where you'll catch people who don't even stop to think about their own race and just continue on with their life. I believe that while we have made accomplishments we have in the same way stood still ]]> 2019-01-18 18:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ashley1/m67045gap1pe/wish/322272301
